Enhanced safety measures for beaches

Posted On: March 19, 2020

Beginning tomorrow, March 20, the vehicular beach access ramps in New Smyrna Beach will remain closed. 

Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22, all Volusia County vehicular access ramps will remain closed. This will serve as a measure of crowd control. 

These actions will provide Volusia County Beach Safety staff the ability to manage beachgoers and maintain safety by enforcing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

Beachgoers must continue to observe the enhanced guidelines put in place by Governor DeSantis. Rules include limiting groups to ten people or less and maintaining a 6-foot distance from all other groups.

Conditions remain fluid, and plans may be adjusted as necessary to protect the health and safety of our community.
